Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple candidate executors are considered for sensing services, then sensing service quality is improved, but executor selection complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a sensing function network entity as an intermediary between the initiator and candidate executors. This mediator manages the complex selection process by receiving requests from initiators, evaluating multiple candidate executors based on capabilities and availability, and selecting the most suitable target executor. This intermediary approach resolves the contradiction by centralizing the complexity in a dedicated management entity rather than distributing it across all system components.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by having the sensing function network entity pre-evaluate and identify candidate executors before actual sensing service execution. The system maintains information about executor capabilities and availability in advance, so when a sensing service request arrives, the selection process is expedited by referencing pre-analyzed candidate information rather than performing exhaustive evaluation from scratch.
2Adaptability or versatility
If network discovery is used to find alternative executors, then service availability is improved, but information processing overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The sensing function network entity performs multiple functions: it acts as a request receiver, executor evaluator, candidate manager, and selector. By consolidating these diverse functions in a single entity, the system avoids the information processing overhead that would result from multiple separate discovery mechanisms and coordination protocols between different components.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the sensing function network entity receives information about executor capabilities and availability, evaluates candidates, selects target executors, and can update candidate information based on execution outcomes. This feedback loop enables continuous optimization of executor selection while managing information processing efficiently through structured information flow.
